- catalog abstract ""The author covers all the children in the Bible, intensively studying the biblical text as well as incorporating insights from the best history works on childhood and child-rearing in ancient times. The author's sensitivity to the cultural and sociological factors impinging on families in biblical times is everywhere apparent. In order to appreciate what the Book of Proverbs says about children, for example, one must understand how children were treated and viewed in other cultures during Old Testament times. Everything the Bible says about children applies to contemporary childhood, according to the author. He finds biblical examples and abundant implications for children's physical, emotional, social, and spiritual development. The principles that can be garnered from this incisive work will help educators and parents in the teaching and training of children today. Though numerous volumes have been written on human observations about children, very few volumes present God's perspective on them as recorded in the Bible. Precious In His Sight fills this gap admirably. This is a book on childhood drawn from the perspective of the Bible. The author deals with all the children in the Bible, intensively studying the biblical text as well as incorporating insights from the best history works on childhood and child-rearing in ancient times. The ancient principles, it turns out, are powerfully relevant to educators and parents of today"--Publisher description.".
